This small footprint makes a BIG impact Saving space is just one benefitof our gas-insulated switchgear.

Gas-insulated medium voltage switchgearPower Xpert® XGIS

Big where it matters, small where it counts.

Oil & gas industrialsThe XGIS is built to withstand harsh and corrosive environments and to improve safety. Its high reliability and reduced maintenance mean less downtime, one of the most costly issues you face. In addition, the compact footprint creates savings for e-houses and off-shore applications, and the low total cost of ownership offers an overall outstanding value.

Data centersYou invest for the long term. The XGIS’s low total cost of ownership improves returns on your data center investment, and the small footprint means you’re not wasting revenue-generating space. Designed for greater safety, XGIS lowers risk for your operation.

UtilitiesThe high reliability and limited maintenance of the XGIS reduces costly downtime. The compact design allows installation in congested areas and saves on e-house costs. The switchgear’s gas insulating technology and smart design decreases risk for your operation.

MiningThe XGIS is built to withstand harsh and demanding environments — and designed to enhance safety. With its high reliability, reduced maintenance, and low total cost of ownership, the XGIS offers outstanding long-term value.

InfrastructureDesigned with a focus on safety, the XGIS reduces risk for your operation. The equipment’s high reliability and limited maintenance reduces costly downtime, and the small footprint allows installation in tight spaces.

Critical power applications don’t leave any room for error. Mistakes or substandard functioning can be costly and dangerous. That’s why you need switchgear that is built to perform — and to last. Eaton switchgear products are a compelling, long-term value, backed by over a century of industry experience.

We have expanded our market leading medium voltage switchgear portfolio to give you more options than ever before. Our Power Xpert® XGIS gas-insulated switchgear is one that is small in size and big in value, benefits that any business can appreciate.

Power Xpert XGIS could be your best choice in meeting the precise demands of your application. From its compact design to enhanced personnel safety and low maintenance requirements, you owe it to yourself to see what XGIS can do for you.

• Compact design enables use in small spaces

• So reliable it’s virtually maintenance-free

• Excellent arc protection improves personnel safety

• Reduces installation and operating costs

• Provides a low total cost of ownership

Big where it matters, small where it counts.

Front-accessible IP4X rated enclosure includes space for mounting low voltage protection and metering devices and allows safe access for breaker and switch isolation operations to be performed from the front of the gear.

Main bus Shielded and grounded solid insulation main bus system eliminates the need for a second gas tank to house the bus, improving reliability.

Single sealed tankThe breaker, isolating switch and optional ports to connect VTs, are all contained within a single, SF6-filled, laser welded tank for a high quality seal with no on-site filling required.

Arc rated In the event of an arc flash incident, arc-gases do not need to discharge into the cable vault, reducing the risk of propagating damages, and increasing safety.

Design overviewThe Power Xpert XGIS provides a winning combination of customers’ most-wanted features that give extraordinary value in safety, reliability and space savings — with no sacrifice of functionality.

Gas-insulated switchgear features & benefits

Small footprint and compact design

Safer is smarter for youroperation

Virtually maintenance-free for maximum reliability

Big where it matters, small where it counts.

Workforce safety is the number one concern for business. By design, construction and operation, the XGIS reduces risk for your operation.

• Robust construction and decreased potential for arc faults provides enhanced safety

• Completed internal arc testing in all medium voltage areas including cable, breaker, switch and main bus compartments

• Certified as arc classification AFLR (31.5kA for 1 sec) to increase safety

• Shielded and grounded, solid-insulated busbars provide phase-to-phase isolation, minimizing the risk of phase-to-phase faults

Safer is smarter for your operation

Visible line of site to three position disconnect switch with camera options

Interlocked three position disconnect switch for isolating and earthing with electric operation

Isolated fused or non-fused VTs available for both main bus and cable applications

Safe HandlingModular busbars are solid-shielded to facilitate connection and removal reducing risk for accidental contact

Virtually maintenance-free for maximum reliability

Downtime is costly especially when unforeseen. Gas-insulating technology dramatically reduces maintenance requirements.

• Virtually maintenance-free solution is an impressive long-term value with a low total cost of ownership

• UL witnessed and STL certified to IEC 62271-100 and -200

• Designed and tested in third-party labs to IEC and IEEE standards

• Expected lifespan is up to 40 years

• Medium voltage parts are enclosed within a sealed gas-insulated tank or encased in grounded solid insulation, protecting them from accidental contact and the environment

Straightforward installation The laser welded gas tank is factory-filled with no on-site handling of SF6 gas required, making installation quick and less costly.

Circuit breaker and three position disconnect switch are housed in a sealed tank design of IP65 rating to ensure highest protection against contamination.

Small footprint

Small but accessibleBreaker and three position disconnect switch operations are performed from the front of the switchgear with a user-friendly interface, making it intuitive for personnel to operate.

Many applications have limited space to work. The XGIS fits the often tighter spaces of urban and existing buildings.

• System’s compact design allows installation in areas with minimal floor space

• Small footprint means you don’t waste revenue-generating space

• Compact design is suitable for retrofitting into existing locations including urban areas where space is at a premium
